I see this build failure with /usr/bin/make:

../build-aux/install-sh -c -d LocaleData
../build-aux/install-sh -c -d LocaleData/de.us-ascii
../build-aux/install-sh -c -d LocaleData/de.us-ascii/LC_MESSAGES

(and several similar failures if I run "make -k").
That is  due to the fact that 'tp/Makefile' still uses '$<' in non-suffix
rules.  The build completes correctly if I use GNU make.

On the testsuite front (run with "ALL_TESTS=yes"):

  FAIL: parser_base_tests
  FAIL: long_tests.sh

Success in both build and testsuite if GNU make is used.  If native CCS make
is used, the build step fails, aonce again due to the use of '$<' in non-suffix
rules.

I don't think I'll have much time to provide further details or debugging
help for now, sorry.

Karl, Patrice, would you consider asking for access to the machines of
the GCC compiler farm yourself?  That would allow you to find and debug
such issue more easily and directly...

Best regards,
